The commands I currently execute to recreate the installation tree are: /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/genhdlist $RHDIST chmod 644 $RHDIST/RedHat/base/hdlist{,2} # several commands to rebuild comps.rpm /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/pkgorder $RHDIST i386 core base acoss \ french-support > $RHDIST/pkgorder.txt cp $RHDIST/pkgorder.txt $RHDIST/pkgorder-bak.txt /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/buildinstall \ --pkgorder $RHDIST/pkgorder.txt --comp dist-3 \ --version 3ES --product "RedHat Enterprise Linux 3" \ --release "[build A003 - $(date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M')]" \ $RHDIST cp /redhat/rhel3u5/pkgorder-bak.txt /redhat/rhel3u5/pkgorder.txt /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/splittree.py \ --arch=i386 --distdir=$RHDIST \ --total-discs=3 --bin-discs=3 --src-discs=1 \ --pkgorderfile=$RHDIST/pkgorder.txt \ --release-string="[build A003 - $(date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M')]" \ --srcdir=$RHDIST/SRPMS rm -f $RHDIST-disc1/RedHat/base/hdlist* /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/genhdlist --withnumbers \ --fileorder $RHDIST/pkgorder.txt $RHDIST-disc* and after these a few mkisofs to create the corresponding ISO images. Does that mean I need to execute genhdlist just after executing pkgorder? PS: There seems to be a quite long delay between the time I send a mail and the time it hits the list as I haven't received yet any of the two previous mails I sent. -- Sébastien Aperghis-Tramoni Close the world, txEn eht nepO.
